Happy Birthday Victoria!

Six years ago today at 3:20 pm Victoria Paige was born...that's right, my baby is 6 years old!! We had a very fun, very busy day...

Vi had school til 12:30 today (Weds is early release day) so since I am still unemployed I thought I would spend my time making multi-colored cupcakes with multi-colored frosting. That's right folks, no two cupcakes are the same. They turned out really cool.

After school we went to McDonalds with her best friend Alexandera and her mom Julie. They ate and played a little then it was off to get our toes done.

Vi and Allie got the same thing, purple polish with a yellow peace sign on their big toe. Very fashionable! After getting our toes done it was off to dance class. Today was Pom & Cheer and then Gymnastics. Finally home for dinner. Vi requested mac and cheese and a peanut butter sandwich. After a few bites it was time for the cupcakes. Vi carefully chose pink cake with purple frosting.

Eddie and I sang to her and then she made a wish and blew out the candle (we had to do this twice so I could get a good picture, she is so funny).

She added daisy sprinkles as the finishing touch on her birthday cupcake and did a quick pose for the camera before digging in.

Happy Birthday Vi, we love you!!

First Day of First Grade

Today was Vi's first day of school. She is now in "grades" as she calls it and has been telling anyone that asks her if she is excited that "grades are boring". Despite what she said she was excited for her first day. Last Thursday we met her teacher. Her name is Mrs Asta, although for the first three weeks she will have Mrs Dodson because Mrs Asta had unexpected back surgery and will be out. If you recall from last year her teacher hurt her knee on the third day of school and was out for two weeks. Hopefully this isn't a trend. Although it is teaching her to be adaptable to change so I guess that is good.

Each year the school has a different "theme". Last year was Gecko Jones (after Indiana Jones with Gecko being their mascot). This year is Star Trek...Learn Long and Prosper and features teh Gecko with pointy ears. Hahahaa.

Hopefully this year is as good as last year. Mrs Asta has some big shoes to fill because Mrs Smith (her kinder teacher) was SOOO amazing. One thing I am sure of...some good stories to come!

Second loose tooth

Vi has her second loose tooth. The first one hasn't come in yet. She is going to have a big hole :)

Pool Key

Vi asked if we could go to the pool to practice swimming. I told her we needed to wait because they changed the pool key. She said "What did they change it into?". I had to laugh but honestly she is thinks differently than most. Probably why she is so smart...

Swim Lessons

Vi loves taking swim lessons and she is doing really well.

First Lost Tooth

Today while Vi was eating her sandwich for lunch her tooth fell out! It is so small (see the little white dot on the couch).


How cute is she?!!?

Mom there is an accident in here...

...yeah, not really the words you want to hear coming from your kid in the other room. First thought at least she is yelling to me so how bad could it really be right?


Now although oral hygene is very important using the ENTIRE thing of floss is not neccessary! Yes that is right....her little "accident" was using unrolling all the floss. UGH, that stuff is expensive and I don't have a job so I made her go put it back in the bathroom for later use. Times are tough and we all have to give a little...if that means using "used" floss then so be it!
